Biography

GeoffTupholme retired from his full-time post as Professor of Mathematics at theUniversity of Bradford and became an Emeritus Professor from 1 October 2010

Professor Tupholme was awarded his BSc with Special Honours in Mathematics fromthe University of Sheffield. This wasfollowed by his PhD in Mathematics fromthe University of East Anglia.

Subsequently, hewas awarded the degree of Doctor of Science (DSc) from the University of EastAnglia for his "sustained, original and distinguished contribution toknowledge".

Hisfirst post was as an Assistant Lecturer in Mathematics at the University ofDundee. He joined the University of Bradford as a Lecturer in Mathematics andwas then promoted to a Senior Lectureship and finally a Professorship. He took an extended leave of absence to be aVisiting Research Scientist in the Department of Mathematics at the Universityof Simon Fraser in Canada.

Hislong-standing research activities have followed different, but at timesrelated, paths involving elastic and piezoelectric waves and pulses, acousticpulses, and cracks and dislocations. However, additionally, flourishing collaborations on heat transferproblems and on deformations of rubber bushes have been developed.
